Abstract

One example method of operation may include one or more of receiving messages from different clients, storing the messages in a queue, identifying the clients assigned to the messages, assigning the messages to different threads in a thread pool based on the identified clients, and processing the messages via the different threads.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method, comprising:
 receiving a plurality of messages from a plurality of different clients; 
 storing the plurality of messages in a queue; 
 identifying corresponding clients, of the plurality of different clients, assigned to the plurality of messages; 
 assigning a message, of the plurality of messages, to a fast lane thread and assigning a message, of the plurality of messages to a slow lane thread, where the fast lane thread and the slow lane thread are in a thread pool, and the assigning is based on the corresponding clients; 
 identifying level of concurrency for a destination; 
 assigning the message, assigned to the fast lane thread, to a fast lane overflow thread when the level of concurrency is above a threshold level of concurrency; 
 assigning the message, assigned the slow lane thread, to a slow lane overflow thread when the level of concurrency is below a threshold level of concurrency; and 
 processing the messages via the assigned fast lane overflow thread and the assigned slow lane overflow thread. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the identifying the corresponding clients comprises:
 identifying client reputations based on message processing compliance times. 
 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the queue is a first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the processing the plurality of messages further comprises:
 determining whether a message, of the plurality of messages has reached an intended destination. 
 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 4 , wherein the processing the plurality of messages further comprises:
 receiving a confirmation that a message, of the plurality of messages, has been delivered. 
 
     
     
       6. An apparatus, comprising:
 a receiver configured to receive a plurality of messages from a plurality of different clients; and 
 a processor configured to:
 store the plurality of messages in a queue; 
 identify corresponding clients, of the plurality of different clients, assigned to the plurality of messages; 
 assign a message, of the plurality of messages, to a fast lane thread and assigning a message, of the plurality of messages to a slow lane thread, where the fast lane thread and the slow lane thread are in a thread pool, and the assigning is based on the corresponding clients; 
 identify level of concurrency for a destination; 
 assign the message, assigned to the fast lane thread, to a fast lane overflow thread when the level of concurrency is above a threshold level of concurrency; 
 assign the message, assigned the slow lane thread, to a slow lane overflow thread when the level of concurrency is below a threshold level of concurrency; and 
 
 process the messages via the assigned fast lane overflow thread and the assigned slow lane overflow thread. 
 
     
     
       7. The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 identify the corresponding clients based on message processing compliance times. 
 
     
     
       8. The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the queue is a first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue. 
     
     
       9. The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 determine whether a message, of the plurality of messages has reached an intended destination. 
 
     
     
       10. The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 receive a confirmation that a message, of the plurality of messages, has been delivered. 
 
     
     
       11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store one or more instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:
 receiving a plurality of messages from a plurality of different clients; 
 storing the plurality of messages in a queue; 
 identifying corresponding clients, of the plurality of different clients, assigned to the plurality of messages; 
 assigning a message, of the plurality of messages, to a fast lane thread and assigning a message, of the plurality of messages to a slow lane thread, where the fast lane thread and the slow lane thread are in a thread pool, and the assigning is based on the corresponding clients; 
 identifying level of concurrency for a destination; 
 assigning the message, assigned to the fast lane thread, to a fast lane overflow thread when the level of concurrency is above a threshold level of concurrency; 
 assigning the message, assigned the slow lane thread, to a slow lane overflow thread when the level of concurrency is below a threshold level of concurrency; and 
 processing the messages via the assigned fast lane overflow thread and the assigned slow lane overflow thread. 
 
     
     
       12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 11 , wherein the identifying the corresponding clients comprises:
 identifying client reputations based on message processing compliance times. 
 
     
     
       13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 11 , wherein the queue is a first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue. 
     
     
       14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 11 , wherein the processing the plurality of messages via the different threads comprises:
 determining whether a message, of the plurality of messages has reached an intended destination, and 
 wherein processing the plurality of messages via the different threads further comprises:
 receiving a confirmation that a message, of the plurality of messages, has been delivered.
